Located in the picturesque village of Waverton, Cheshire, the Waverton school and schoolmaster's house is a historic site dating back to 1877. Designed by renowned architect John Douglas for the 1st Duke of Westminster, this Grade II listed building showcases stunning architecture, with the school constructed from red ashlar sandstone and featuring distinctive mullioned windows and a bellcote. The adjoining schoolmaster's house, characterized by its timber-framed upper storey and charming oriel window, offers a glimpse into the architectural style of the era.
